Kennywood is now the only amusement park in the world that is home to three ACE Classic Coasters.

The Thunderbolt joins the Jack Rabbit and the Racer in the distinction.

"I think we're all excited because the award is not just for the coaster itself -- it's a whole team effort here,” general manager Jerome Gibas said. “It's the guys in maintenance who maintain it to the operations crew that keep it running every day, and for the people who come to Kennywood every year to enjoy it. The Thunderbolt is a stop for just about every person who comes to the park."
